Lonely Travels

Frail and weary of this walk Turning around just asks for more The burning truth that holds me near The mirror is screaming into my ear A nightmare waking to this place Expressions of horror upon my face Hidden to save me from the scars Of seeing my hurt deliver harm My eyes adjusted to foresee A broken existence beyond the trees The love that made this world a dream Turned into loss as my mirror screamed All passion spent on seeking loss To forget what I’ve seen, at every cost All silence victimized by sight The loneliest visions to twist my mind And all the reasons I exist Slipping away, in to the mist And all the love I can not spend Holding me close, in an empty bed Frail, weary, broken still Awareness and knowledge will not refill This heart that chaos can’t repair As I journey alone throughout despair
